The constraints of conventional oils, stringent environmental regulations, and increasing
demand for lighter distillates have shifted interest towards heavy crude oils, and atmospheric …

Unconventional feedstocks, such as heavy vacuum residue (VR), have become potential
candidates that could be positively exploited to meet the increasing demand of high-value …

Exploitation of heavy/extra heavy oil is becoming challenging as it conventionally requires
injection of steam in high proportions, making it not environmentally friendly. In-situ …

Managing heavy oil (HO) has become a vital issue in terms of environmental considerations.
Microwave pyrolysis of HO is one of the efficient methods of upgrading and recycling this …

Reaction constants for vacuum gas oil (VGO) hydrocracking and slurry phase
hydroconversion of residues are calculated and positioned with respect to results from the …

Sensitivity analysis is an important tool commonly used for confirming the achievement of
the optimum set of parameter values obtained by regression analysis. To highlight this …

A six lump-based kinetic model has been developed for the hydrocracking of high-density
polyethylene (HDPE) blended with vacuum gas oil (VGO) over a PtPd/HY zeolite catalyst …

The hydrocracking of hydrotreated scrap tires pyrolysis oil (HT-STPO) has been studied
aiming at high-quality refinery blends for alternative automotive fuels. The hydrocracking …
